About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2015: SIGNED. 1st/st. New - Unread. Stated First Edition, first printing with complete number line starting with 1. Signed with a doodle on the title page. An unread book is tight and square with sharp corners and clean unmarred boards. Textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or marks and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Dust jacket is unclipped with opaque cut-outs and pristine. Illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen. This affecting middle-grade psychological thriller has been hailed by critics.
For some kids summer is a sun-soaked season of fun. But for Steve, it's just another season of worries. Worries about his sick newborn baby brother who is fighting to survive, worries about his parents who are struggling to cope, even worries about the wasp's nest looming ominously from the eaves. So when a mysterious wasp queen invades his dreams, offering to "fix" the baby, Steve thinks his prayers have been answered.
All he has to do is say "Yes." But "yes" is a powerful word. It is also a dangerous one. And once it is uttered, can it be taken back?
